Top Gun (1986)
The progression of Tony Scott’s career reminds me a bit of the progression of Community. At the beginning, he was mostly accessible, yet with a very noticeable bit of weirdness (all that homoeroticism), but there was hardly any indication just how weird he would end up.

The Last Boy Scout (1991)
Oh man, I gotta see this one. Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans?! Come on!

True Romance (1993)
With a Tarantino script, direction from Tony, and that cast, this is one of the best illustrations ever of the cinematic success borne from collabortation.

Man on Fire (2004)
I have got to see this one soon. Apparently, this was when Tony’s crazy-editing style really started to kick into high gear.

Domino (2005)
For just about everybody, Tony went too far in Domino with his unapologetic editing choices. (A 90-degree camera rotation to start off a scene? Just for the hell of it?) It’s an absolute mess, but endlessly fascinating.

Deja Vu (2006)
Finally, subject matter that’s a perfect fit for Tony’s editing style. An underrated gem, with a very focused take on the mechanics of time travel.

The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)
A straightforward thrill ride.

Unstoppable (2010)
Could there have been another movie more perfectly designed for the Tony-Denzel collaboration? A great conclusion to one of the great director-actor combos in film history.
